Captain Daniel Holden House, 24 Elm St Topsham, Sagadahoc County, ME
This structure is an outstanding example of an early 19th century Maine house. It was probably partially built and decorated by Samuel Melcher III, carpenter-builder of Brunswick. Melcher was typical of the coastal builders of Maine who were both shipbuilders and housewrights. Of particular interest is the restraint of interior details, large second-floor ballroom, and the stairways.
